Chris, Shannon Elora, baby Noella and myself were sitting on a bench by the peace tower when a fluffy black squirrel made a mad dash for us with a horse chestnut the size of its head in its mouth. In its mad kamikaze run under our bench and over our strollers it lost the nut. In my love of all things fuzzy I helpfully throw the nut after the squirrel. Well the darn squirrel saw me pick up the nut but did not see me release the nut. He turned around came back up to our bench and stared me down. I am telling your the squirrel was hostile. It had hate in its eyes. Hate only for me as it stared me down. Seriously, other people were stopping to take pictures.
At one point it glanced at Elora as if to say "she is yours? Give me my nut or the girl gets it. Seriously woman, I will scratch her up" (in my head the squirrel sounds allot like Eddie Griffin)
In the end the squirrel gave peace a chance and went on its way.
it peeks over the stairs and finds me.
It looks threateningly toward the girl.
It stares me down.Peace out squirrel...sorry about your nut dude.

Oh My Goodness. This story made me giggle! You would be one to get the stink eye from a squirrel. If it's going to happen to anyone, it will happen to Michele! Hahaha.
Seriously, add it to my growing list of critter encounters.
I DID NOT kill the monkey!
